  $ pip cache purge
  $ pip cache remove matplotlib

• set no cache ([pip config](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_config/))

  $ pip install --no-cache-dir <pkg-name>
  
  # or
  $ pip config set global.cache-dir false

for global user (or non user)

[!NOTE]

export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"

# load the user's $HOME/.pip/pip.conf
$ sudo python -m pip install <package-name>

# or
# CANNOT load the user's $HOME/.pip/pip.conf

re-install package in site.USER_BASE

[!NOTE]

$ python -c 'import site; print(site.USER_BASE)'

• reference:

  • Can I force pip to reinstall the current version?

    × This environment is externally managed
    ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try brew install
        xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
        install.
    
        If you wish to install a non-brew-packaged Python package,
        create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.

        If you wish to install a non-brew packaged Python application,
        it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
        virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
